NEW YORK — For the first time in Stephen Curry's life, he became the proverbial victory cigar.

Making his New York debut as pro Friday night, an event that came with much hype, Curry played two minutes, 35 seconds. Total. He didn't attempt a shot.

"It sucks," Curry said. "It sucks. You don't want to be sitting and watching. Especially how the season started, it's kind of a different situation. Hopefully, I won't get used to it. We'll see what happens."

Anthony Randolph, the other key youngster on the roster, didn't play much either, totaling four points and four rebounds in just 6:21. A visibly frustrated Randolph shouted at the coaches as he was being replaced in the third quarter, causing assistant Keith Smart to walk to the end of the bench to calm him down.
